Moments later, just inside the entrance of the shadowed tomb, Maiev and her Watchers brace themselves for an ambush.

Summary

Maiev pursued Illidan into the Sargeras's Tomb hoping to stop Illidan before he claimed the terrible demon's powers. Inside, Maiev and her forces battled Illidan's Naga as well as the demonic guardians of the tomb. Maiev was confronted by the Naga sea witchLady Vashj, who told Maiev of the true nature of the Naga. The Watchers also discovered runes written by Gul'dan himself as he searched for the Eye of Sargeras, as well as his terrible death. Eventually they discovered the central chamber of the tomb, only to find that Illidan had already claimed the Eye. Taunting Maiev, Illidan used the artifact's demonic powers to bring the tomb crashing down around the Watchers, hoping to imprison the Warden in much the same way she had him. Maiev managed to use her magic to escape, however Naisha and her remaining troops were not so lucky, and were buried alive.

The Shadow Orb of Gul'dan

Using Maiev, you can get the pieces of a legendary artifact known as the Shadow Orb inside the Tomb of Sargeras. Information on where the various pieces of the orb are located can be found at [1]
When you find the first piece - Maiev Shadowsong: This is a piece of Gul'dan's Shadow Orb. He must have shattered it by accident. If we can find the other missing pieces, we could reassemble the Orb and use its power to aid us.
When you find the last piece - Maiev Shadowsong: Finally, the last piece of the Shadow Orb! Now we'll use Gul'dan's own artifact to discover what he could not.

Transcript

The scenario begins with a cinematic of Maiev and Naisha speaking to one another after having initially entered the Tomb of Sargeras with their minimal forces.

Naisha:I have a bad feeling about this, mistress. It's too quiet. It feels as if we're walking into a trap.

Maiev Shadowsong:Still, we must press on, Naisha. If Illidan finds whatever it is he's seeking, he could-- Wait! Look there!

Maiev spots red runes scrawled on the walls of the tomb.

Maiev Shadowsong:Strange... these are orcish runes! They were written by Gul'dan when he first opened this tomb twenty years ago.

Naisha:What do they say?

Maiev Shadowsong:Apparently, he logged his journey through the Tomb's depths. These runes seem to depict that history.

The cinematic shifts to a flashback of Gul'dan entering the tomb with his forces.

Gul'dan:Quickly, you fools--fan out and search for the primary passageway! We must reach the Chamber of the Eye before the tomb's guardians awaken!

A monstrous roar echoes through the tomb. Gul'dan's followers turn and flee but halt after one of them is shot down by the warlock.

Gul'dan:Spineless cowards! I said move!

Gul'dan's orcs now obey his commands and split up to search.

Gul'dan:Now, Sargeras, I will claim whatever's left of your power--and bring this wretched world to its knees!

Maiev Shadowsong:There's no telling what Gul'dan and his lackeys awoke in this foul place. We must be cautious.

Naisha:More undead orcs!

Maiev Shadowsong:Gul'dan led them blindly to their deaths. Still, they hunger for revenge.

After progressing about a third of the way across the southern portion of the map you'll encounter an Overlord guarding a Demonic Gate.

Overlord:Turn back, you mortals. None may defile the Tomb of Sargeras!

After progressing about half-way across the map you'll encounter the first of three rock barriers.

Maiev Shadowsong:I can hear our comrades' voices from the other side of this barrier! If we destroy it, they'll be able to get inside and help us hunt for Illidan.

Trivia

The flashback of the Highborne transforming into naga takes place in an isolated room at the bottom right of the map. This area can be reached by using Maiev's Blink ability.

After the cutscene with Illidan, it is possible for Maiev to Blink back into the Chamber of the Eye. She can attack and destroy the Eye of Sargeras and kill the five Mur'gul Shadowcaster minions. Illidan is now invisible and cannot attack or be attacked, but will repeatedly use Mana Burn on Maiev.

In Reforged, the orc shaman are replaced by orc warlocks. The bottom-right portion of the map had its statues rearranged, and updated with obelisks. Death Guard Epic is present in the chamber with the second set of runes (considering the name, it may be a bug).

Near the end of the level, when you break the door, you can see the Gul'dan's skeleton without his skull.
